Worldwide, 30% of food is lost or wasted. That averages out to 614 kcal per person per day! That’s about the same as 10 medium eggs or 21 large carrots every day! Hard as it may be, there are various ways a person can prevent food from being wasted at home.

Firstly, it is always good to make a list each week of what needs to be used up and plan upcoming meals around it. By doing this, you constantly remind yourself to only purchase a necessary amount of meat and farm produce. It helps you keep track of your personal and family’s food consumption, making you aware of your weekly intake of different food types. Therefore, you can make changes when feeling unwell or having health issues.

Secondly, produce that is past its prime as well as leftovers, may still be fine for cooking. Repurpose these ingredients in soups, sauces, baked goods, pancakes, or smoothies. You’ll avoid wasting these items and may even create a new favourite dish. If safe and healthy, use the edible parts of food that you normally do not eat. For example, stale bread can be used to make croutons and vegetable scraps can be used for soup stock.

Finally, keep in mind that not only the catering industry is responsible for food waste, but everyone must raise their awareness of the issue. By following these two simple steps, you are sure to contribute to the process of controlling the amount of food wasted across the globe.

Read the following article about malaria and decide whether the sentences are true (T) or false (T)

Malaria is a dangerous disease which causes the death of over a million people annually. In addition to this, according to the World Health Organization, in 2020, there were 627.000 fatal cases caused by malaria, the majority of which were recorded in Africa. In America alone every year, 2000 cases of malaria are registered. A large share of these cases are statistically shown to be immigrants from other countries, including those in South Asia and Africa.

It is caused when a certain type of mosquitoes, which carries infection, bites humans. Data shows people living in underdeveloped areas with poor access to medical facilities record higher risks of contracting malaria.

Patients who get malaria often develop several symptoms including a severe flu, headache, vomiting, diarrhea and fevers. Those symptoms often take 10 days or above to appear. Therefore, the most sensible way to protect yourself is to seek reliable medical help, get a diagnostic test and follow guidelines prescribed by experts.

Remember: Kidney disorders, tension and fatality are possible, unless the disease is properly treated. Malaria can be highly fatal if you neglect safety procedures and possible signs. Thus having a good knowledge of the disease, the symptoms can also reduce the chances of you catching malaria.
